Canadian.
Pretty much only speak English, but if I were to hear or read something that's in French I'd have a vague idea of what's being said based on what few words in the French language I do know.
And I'm pretty sure I know how to say I don't speak French...
Je ne parle pas Francais.
I never really learned the language entirely because my local area is a pretty bland small town which mostly just has Caucasians who only speak English, mostly due to the fact that such a large portion of them are Americans living in Canada and the area is so near the border. I would hear the language all the time if I were to just walk down the street of a major city like Toronto or Vancouver, but I've only ever gone to a city for family gatherings and the rest of my family only really speaks English.
Slightly unrelated fact: My area is so non-multicultural that I've only seen about a dozen or so people in my life who weren't white in person, and most of them I barely know or see and most of them I only met after meeting them in a city. About 7 of them are Asian friends of the family who I only see every couple of years or so, I had one friend who was from the Philippines that moved away a few years ago, 2 Black guys and 1 Black girl who I had met at the mental ward at a hospital and haven't really seen again ever since I left there and 1 Asian kid and a couple of Black girls who I pass by regularly but rarely talk to.

I know a fair bit of Chinese, Italian, French and Latin, but I'm far from fluent in any of them. So, I just voted for one language only.
English, French, Spanish from there i can mash things together to get by in Italian and Portuguese to a VERY limited extent... can't remember much German from School but it's in there somewhere.
My grandfather was Swiss my parents French grew up in Scotland and now live in Mexico.

About 6 years of French lessons, and I know less than I used to. At least I used to be able to say "Sorry, I can't speak French" in french.
Dutch (yay!) English and a bit of German. I did follow mandatory classes in french in highschool, but I banned it from the inner parts of my psyche.

In a globalized world it's a very big necessity to know several languages English, Spanish and French (as i do) but with the recent emerging/exploding economies, languages like Chinese, Portuguese, Russian among others are a new opportunity...
Polish, as I'm from Poland, of course.
Then there's English, which I'm quite fluent at.
And finally, German. Not quite good, but still communicative.
I'm planning on learning Japanese, as I'd like to know some non-european language, plus I like Japanese culture altogether.

Fast ÄKTA göteborgare är (tråkigt nog) en extrem minoritet I GÖTEBORG. I sin egna jävla stad. Vi é fan utrotningshotade! Och jag VILL inte veta hur skånska uttal är... Som en stolt göteborgare måste jag hata er. Och stockholmare. Faktiskt mest stockholmare. De har ett ÄNNU värre uttal. ^^Wierdguy said:
